Excellent place right on the corner of Havana and Waters. Let's support small businesses. The owner is very attentive, and the wait staff are very attentive. The food is spectacular. We will definitely return.
Enjoyed my Cafe con Leche and cheese toast.
Excellent services. Nice people. Food sooo great. Place so clean.
La Esquina Sabrosa is a must for authentic Latin Food! Dominican owners offer many of their country typical dishes but also offer a variety of dishes and appetizers from other countries. I keep going back for their delicious Cuban Sandwich as well as Tacos and Pasteles. I have never been disappointed. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere. Great customer service.

I recently visited this amazing spot, and I have to say, it's now my favorite place in Tampa. The Dominican Chofan was absolutely delicious! The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. On top of the amazing food, the services was fantastic. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend this place
I highly recommend this restaurant. I purchased delicious Spanish food from this restaurant for a birthday party for my 85 year old mother. The food was fantastic. It was ready on time and was so good. The restaurant is clean and the staff and managers are so nice. I can't wait to have some more delicious food from this restaurant. Thank you Mary!

Fabulous new cantina. Best Cuban sandwich I’ve had in Tampa Bay.
I came to this spot because I’ve been on the hunt for great Latin food here in Tampa, and after trying several places, I can honestly say this is one of the top ones. I’ve had their rice and beans with chicken, their mangú (which is absolutely delicious), and their chofán with pernil. Pairing it all with a nice cold beer really made the experience feel like I was back in the Dominican Republic. The flavors are authentic, the portions are satisfying, and everything I’ve tried has been consistently good. On top of that, the prices are very reasonable and not expensive at all, especially for the quality and portion sizes you get. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing Latin food!
Jesus and team have created an extremely clean and comfortable place to come and dine, have take out and, it appears, even have room for a gathering. The Cuban sandwich, plantains, and the coconut dessert I had were, as I hoped, both tasty and reasonably priced. There were sufficient staff members on hand to compliment the cafeteria-style steam-table display of meal options. I wish them continued success, and as a former restaurant owner, my applause and appreciation for a job well done. I believe your experience will meet and hopefully exceed your expectations for a local establishment, in the competitive Tampa market.

Best Cuban in town!Great food ,great prices
I don’t ever do any reviews. I usually just take an L and keep it going but I have ordered from here before and the food was decent. I decided to order again for their natural juices and they were extremely average compared to the Dominican juices I’m used to, the lemonade actually tasted like Minute Maid lemonade . I also ordered a side of ensalada de códito (macaroni salad) and it was very disappointing. From the pineapples slices added to it to the lack of flavor and seasoning, I had to add more mayo at home and season it myself to be able to enjoy it. Maybe it’s just my high expectations since I live in a Dominican household but I don’t think I will be returning here any time soon.
Déjame poner mi grano de arena. Compre comida. Super vieja. La carne quemada. Guarde para almorzar en el trabajo y la tuve que botar. Ah! Y super cara.
Very rude and food lacks flavor
